On 23 November at the COP29 climate conference in Baku, eco-activists from different countries held a protest action against the failure of countries to agree on climate finance.

They raised slogans: "Pay up!", "Spend money in the right direction!", "Protect the environment!" and other slogans.
Recall that the conference participants never agreed on the allocation of 1 trillion dollars to combat climate change.
